Nearly10% to 15% of all

patients who undergo

complete axillary nodal

dissection as a part of

treatment for breast

cancer have a risk of

d e v e l o p i n g

l y m p h e d e m a a f t e r

surgery. It is oedema of

the arm on the side of

breast cancer surgery

that includes axillary dissection or complete removal of

axillary lymph nodes. Axillary lymph node dissection

has been a standard part of breast cancer surgery till

recently.

Lymphedema can develop any-time after surgery.

During axillary lymph node dissection, there is

disruption of lymphatic vessels which drain lymph from

the arm leading to gradual accumulation of lymph fluid

in the tissues of upper limb on the affected side.

Lymphedema is commonly seen within initial 2-3 years

after surgery but maybe seen as late as 10 to 15 years.

Severe lymphedema is not very common but is difficult

to treat and affects the quality of life badly.

An alternative approach is now available that can

reduce the need for complete removal of axillary nodes

and also minimize the occurrence of lymphedema. This

approach is called sentinel lymph node biopsy. Sentinel

node in the armpit can be identified using specialized

surgical techniques. If the sentinel lymph nodes contain

cancer, complete axillary dissection is carried out. In

sentinel lymph node does not contain cancer, further

surgery for axillary nodes is not required. This approach

helps because nearly 50% to 70% of breast cancer

patients may not have tumour in the axillary nodes if

their nodes are not enlarged. Using sentinel node

biopsy, we can thus avoid complete removal of axillary

nodes in these patients.

Sentinel node biopsy procedure has been studied for

nearly 15 years now and has been found to be safe and

effective. It is advisable to carry out the sentinel node

biopsy using a combination of two approaches.

Radioisotope (nuclear medicine) based technique is

combined with a blue dye based approach for highest

levels of accuracy. After removal of sentinel node,

frozen section test of the node is carried out. Within 20

to 30 minutes, the pathologist tells about the presence or

absence of cancer in the removed nodes. Based on this

information, further surgery is carried out as necessary.

Using frozen section avoids a second surgery for the

patient and saves on costs also.

The most important benefit of SNB is significant

reduction in the risk of lymphedema, discomfort and

pain in the affected arm, preservation of normal

sensation in the arm and normal shoulder movements.

After SNB, the risk of all the complications associated

with axillary lymph node dissection is very low.

Moreover we get accurate information regarding

disease stage with a minimally invasive procedure.

There is no difference in disease outcome between those

patients who undergo ALND and SNB.

Although this procedure has been validated for over ten

years now, few centres in our country are doing this

procedure routinely. Lack of complete facilities that

include nuclear medicine department, hand held gamma

probe, blue dye as well as skilled/highly trained surgical

team, frozen section facility are a barrier to wider use of

this approach. Action cancer Hospital is one of the

leading cancer care set ups in the country that is fully

equipped for this procedure and uses it for the benefit of

patients.

Note* Answer of last month quiz

Winner of Last Month quiz

Deepa Rajwani

You Can Do ItIf you think you are beat, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don't

If you'd like to win,

But you think you can't,

It's almost sure you won't!

If you think you'll lose, you've lost,

For out in the world

You find success begins with the will,

Its all in the state of mind.

If you think you're outclassed,

you are.

You've got to think high to rise.

You've got to think of yourself

Before you can ever win the prize!

If you don't try the race is lost,

Before even a step is run

Think big and your deeds will grow,

Think small and you'll fall behind,

Think that you can and you will,

It's all in the state of mind!

Life's battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster man.

But sooner or later the who wins,

is the one who think he can!(ASHOK KUMAR)

Maha Shivratri (the 'Great Night of Shiva') is a Hindu festival celebrated every year in reverence of Lord Shiva. It is the day Shiva was married to Parvati. The Maha Shivratri festival, also popularly known as 'Shivratri' or 'Great Night of Lord Shiva', is observed on the 13th night/14th day in the Krishna Paksha every year on the month of Falgun according to the Hindu calendar. Alternate common spellings include Sivaratri, Shivaratri, Sivarathri, and Shivarathri. It marks the convergence of Shiva and Shakti. Maha Shivratri is celebrated on the Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi of Hindu calendar month Maagha as per Amavasya-ant month calculation [As per Poornima-ant month calculation, the day is Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi of Hindu calendar month Phalguna which falls in February or March as per the Gregorian calendar. Of the twelve Shivaratris in the year, the Maha Shivarathri is the most holy.

The festival is principally celebrated by offerings of Bael or golden apple or Bilva/Vilvam leaves to Lord Shiva, all-day fasting and an all-night-(jagarana). All through the day, devotees chant "Om Namah Shivaya", a sacred Panchakshara mantra dedicated to Lord Shiva. In accordance with scriptural and discipleship traditions, penances are performed in order to gain boons in the practice of Yoga and meditation, in order to reach life's highest good steadily and swiftly. On this day, the planetary positions in the Northern hemisphere act as potent catalysts to help a person raise his or her spiritual energy more easily. The benefits of powerful ancient Sanskrit Mantras such as Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra increase greatly on this night.

In Nepal, millions of Hindus attend Shivaratri together from different part of the world at the famous Pashupatinath Temple. Thousands of devotees also attend Mahasivaratri at the famous Shiva Shakti Peetham of Nepal.

In Trinidad and Tobago, thousands of Hindus spend the auspicious night in over 400 temples across the country, offering special jhalls to Lord Shiva.

MudraMudra Therapy is another non-medical mode of treatment which helps without harming. Mudras are various postures of fingers and

thumbs. In mudra therapy, different diseases are treated by holding and reatining the fingers and thumbs in different ways. This is simple measure surprisingly restores a state of balance in body and raises the level of the performer's resistance with the patient's immunity thus strengthened, the disease has no other option but to flee.

Deficiencies in any of these elements can be made up by connecting one part of the body with another in a particular manner through Mudras.

When a finger representing an element is brought into contact with the thumb, that element is brought into balance. Therefore the disease caused by the imbalance is cured. Mudras start electromagnetic currents within the body which balance various constituting elements and restore health. The joining of fingers creates an effect on the human body.
